• The date the law was passed
• Describe the law; what are the provisions of the law?
• Background information: What initiated the law? Why was it passed?
• What economic impact was generated by the law? What kinds of costs, fines, or economic benefits are associated with the law? Provide economic data to support this.
• Do you feel that this particular environmental law has improved the environment/situation? Why or why not?
